Innoxa Skincare Value Pack - Super Sensitive

Gee was I a lucky girl to get to try out all these Innoxa Skincare - Super Sensitive Range!
I have never been a person to really use anything other then some water and moisturiser on my face as a daily protocol.
After trying the Innoxa Super Sensitive Range I know now why so many take more care of their face and especially if they use Innoxa. Innoxa is like the royal treatment with face creams.

At current Innoxa have these super special great deal packs that you can buy to suit your skin.
This is the one I used as I struggle with sensitive skin:
What a bargain!!
They also have 2 other packs that are called Thirsty Skin and Renew -

Here are the products up closer that I trialled out:

Review time:
Innoxa Super Sensitive Creme Cleansing Milk 150ml RRP $17.95.
This product is Step 1 - For best use wash face throughly with warm water and then apply a small amount and rub over your entire face, then wash throughly with warm water.
This product is specially formulated to gently yet throughly cleanse, soften and comfort delicate, easily irritated skin. This product is Dermatologically Approved. Fragrance Free. For All Sensitive Skins. Rich with essential nutrients and soothing herbal extracts.
My thoughts on the product:
Innoxa Super Sensitive Creme Cleansing Milk was defintely milk like - it was very runny and silky. This is a good thing for your face as it rubbed on easily but the bad thing to it was trying to contain the creme inside the container. The next morning when I opened the lid to use after first use it was all over the lid and running out of everywhere. You will be able to see a shoot of how I found the product above in the right hand side.
The creme comes out white and rubs into your skin clear which can be abit hard to know if you are covering all over. The creme has a clean sterile smell. After applying this creme my face felt a little taught but had a glossy look to it.
I wasn't so sure how this product should be used as it doesn't give very clear instructions on how best to use - it just stated that you should use with warm water. I just took this upon myself and thought of how else you would rub off treatments so I washed my face throughly with warm water also after application to my face. Apart from the creme running I am really happy with the product.


Innoxa Super Sensitive Restorative Eye Gel 15ml RRP $24.95.
This product is Step 2 - For best use apply after using Innoxa Super Sensitive Creme Cleansing Milk, applying a little to your finger tip as displayed above and warm between fingertips working outwards from the inner corners applying on your inner and outer lash line.
This product is specially formulated to help lift & tighten skin around the delicate eye area, whilst targeting lines, wrinkles and reducing puffiness.
My thoughts on this product:
I was a bit hesitant on using this as they always say you should never put anything close to your eyes and this gelwas going to be put right next to my eyeballs! This gel is gentle, non irritating, smooth, shiny and silk feeling. I definitely felt the effects of using this after a few days - my eyes felt tighter (in a good way), they were always big and brightly opened and got rid of that morning puffiness I would have with my eyes.
The only flaw I can point out on this product is I found it dried my eyes out a little more on the sides and caused that dry flaky sleep like discharge on the inner and outer part of my eye but that could be as it spreads on sticky.


Innoxa Super Sensitive Gentle Day & Night Creme 50ml RRP $27.95
This product is Step 3 - final step in the pack. For best use apply after using Innoxa Super Sensitive Creme Cleansing Milk, apply enough to the face to be able to cover your face with a thin layer of the creme. This Creme will stay on your face.
Innoxa Gentle Day & Night Creme is specially formulated to gently soothe, nourish and protect easily irritated, sensitive skin. Its ideal for those who prefer a richer texture, this creme delivers essential moisture and nutrients to the skin, whilst the added Dermaseal provides protection against environmental irritant and allergens. This product is Dermatologically Approved. Fragrance Free. For sensitive, Normal and Dry Skins. 
My thoughts on this product: 
It has a very distinct smell of that numbing stuff the dentists use but don't worry it doesn't numb your face! This product is non greasy and non oily, it rubs on smooth and disappears quickly. 
This product has been a replacement for just a standard moisturiser.

Thoughts of the Innoxa Super Sensitive range as a package:
Daniel actually commented that my face has cleared up quite a bit since using these products. 
I love the texture and the smells of all these 3 products. They feel good going on my face and leave my face feeling refreshed and clean. I feel like I'm actually doing something good with my skin and it definitely shows. 
I would recommend this to anyone who has sensitive or dry skin. I have been a long time sufferer of sensitive, dry skin and this product was amazing to use. I am going to be in forever debt to the Innoxa brand for bringing something so gentle on my sensitive skin.

18 weeks

So this is the usual week you start to feel some movement from bubba.
Daniel & I eagerly watch my belly at night time waiting to see something. Sometimes we see a bit of a wobble but we don't know if that's just my jiggy bits or its actually bubba moving.

This week I've still carried on the emotional stage - I think separation anxiety is something I developed with Daniel.
On Sunday night he was heading out to the shops being nice coz he wanted to go organize dinner and get a few necessaries from the shop. Daniel was about to walk out the garage door when I got upset and started crying. I got upset that he was going to leave me alone, that he didn't ask me to come... Then it escalated to all my other worries in the world that go round my head. The past few days have been rough on my emotions because I flew out to Sydney Wednesday night for work and this will be until Friday night that I'm away from Daniel this far apart. Even though Daniel & I have spent this same time apart before. I worried about him being by himself. For those of you who don't know the relationship of Daniel & I - we have been glued at the hip since day one of getting together. We pretty much lived with each other straight away and there probably is very minimal moments of the day that we are apart in our free time.

I'm currently blogging this post on the flight to Sydney- this is actually my first time on a plane! Kinda sucks in a that I'm flying for the first time on a plane for work. But in a way it's good... Expense paid for flight but with the conditions that I work for it haha. It was actually alright the take off... Stomach has churned quite a few times through the take off and in air.
Yet to experience the landing so lets hope it's not rough on the way down.
I'm experiencing neck and back pains and having problems with a cramping calf muscle but that has been there since last night.
Daniel was all worried about the flight with me being pregnant saying that I needed to get a 'pregnancy seat' so that I would have more room. Was very cute.

I have been pretty good with the vomiting this week, not vomiting that is. (Touch wood for me that I don't jinx myself). I've dry reached still a fair few times but it hasn't been as bad as when all these symptoms started.
I've stopped taking my morning sickness tablets as they made me taste so much ginger and I seemed to always throw them up in the morning. Maybe they weren't for me? Has anyone tried morning sickness tablets that you can buy over counter? What are your thoughts?

Coming back to finish the rest of my blog now seems that I got some reception unlike up in the air.
The landing was rough :( felt like the plane did a nose dive.

Anywho time to check off now for some pregnancy zzzz's.

Love Nikita & Bubs x

Bad Baby Brains

At 17 weeks pregnancy close to nearly 18 on Saturday, I think that I am the biggest baby brains going around. In one ear and out the other within minutes I forget what I was doing, why I went where I did, what I was talking about and how I made it to somewhere haha!
I'm not the only one who is saying I'm suffering baby brains. Alot of my close circle people say so as well... Work colleagues the most as I spend so much time with them.

Yesterday I was specifically making a trip down to the clothing alteration shop at lunchtime, my pants that needed altering - I get up grab my purse and phone about to walk out of work - CRAP! They're back at my desk! (forget 1) I then get into the shops am walking around and then - SUGAR! I left them in the car! (forget 2).
Unbelieveable of me!!

Tuesday night I was cooking dinner and ended up dishing food up to my belly instead of the plates - literally spooned it to my stomach - that isn't baby brains at all - have no idea what that is called haha! Maybe bubs wanted the food directly.

This weeks cravings have been all about tomatoes - everyday I think of a massive bowl of tomato wedges with a stack of salt & pepper on them!! Drove to the shop yesterday to specially buy tomatoes. Was a happy moment knowing I have them there to access easily haha!

We finally moved into our new home on the long Easter weekend - Hope you all had a nice Easter break by the way.
Muscle pains and aches through the back, butt and legs got brought on from it all. No heavy lifting was done but bending over, standing on my feet and sitting in the car for ages did the trick for all those nice pains that came over my body.
It made me feel very eldery having all this stiffness and made it very hard to walk. Luckily it has now gone - please don't come back!!

When we went to collect the house keys last Thursday I had this weird sensation in my stomach, got me very confused as to whether we might have experienced our first kick but I haven't felt it since so maybe it wasn't the real thing.

Daniel & I get sent a weekly update from the Huggies website about our baby changes and my changes and read we should be feeling movement soon!! More so towards 18weeks if it's the first one as you don't really know what you are looking for.
My belly hasn't really popped much yet but when I looked in the mirror I did notice a little baby bump coming through - YAY!!

My hormones have been coming through way differently - I'm just emotional most of the time haha! Nearly brang a blubberfest to my loungeroom over last nights Home and Away episode with Romeo leaving Indi to die. By the way - Bad call for Romeo's exit H&A creaters, very dissapointed! Horrible way to kill him off the show!!

Dove Pure Deodorant



I introduce you the new Dove Pure Deodorant.
A fragrance-free antiperspirant specifically designed for sensitive skin.

As a person who was born with sensitive skin and struggles to stop reactions from products hearing and experiencing Dove's Pure Deodorant has given me relief of those irritated armpits I would get.

Dove Pure contains:
NO fragrance
NO parabens
NO colourants
NO alcohol

All the above things are the most common causes of irritations to people from most deodorants.

The thing I loved most and what seems to be a major problem for me with most deodorants is they are so strongly fragranced they mask my perfume.
Dove Pure has been my solution as it does not mask my perfume at all.

Dove Pure is available in an 100g aerosol can which is RRP: $5.25 and in a 50ml roll on RRP: $3.89.
Dove Pure is available at all good grocery and pharmacy stores.

Not only have I been the tester of this but so has my partner Daniel who swears by using Dove Pure now.
Daniel loves that it doesn't leave white marks under his armpits. As we all know guys aren't shavers for that area and there would be nothing worse then seeing white hairs in those pits.
